Growth Hormone (GH) is a member of the somatotropin/prolactin family which play an important role in growth control. The human GH cDNA encodes a 217 amino acid (aa), and the first 26 aa is a signal peptide. By alternative splicing, at least four isoforms of GH have been identified. The major role of GH in stimulating body growth is to stimulate the liver and other tissues to secrete IGF-1. GH stimulates both the differentiation and proliferation of myoblasts, and also stimulates amino acid uptake and protein synthesis in muscle and other tissues.Recombinant human Growth Hormone (rhGH) produced in E. coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 191 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rhGH has a molecular mass of 22.1 kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by chromatographic techniques.
